As I was sitting in class, the teacher asked a question and no one responded. Why? Because they are too embarrassed. Are teachers really asking too much of students? I think not, but I do think students do not reciprocate well to being put on the spot because some people are very judgmental. Students are emotionally scarred from past events. It takes a certain person to stand up and answer a question and be wrong and it be okay. And that is what we need to make more clear. That it is okay for you to speak your mind without being stupid. I think that is the one thing that needs to be changed in society for anything else to be changed. Think of all the wonderful creative ideas we would have if no one ever shut them down. It would be unreal the opportunities for change. I think this will be a hard thing to actually get done, because it has been conditioned so much into the lives of so many people. It will take awhile, but if it could actually happen, it would be unreal the positive effects that would come from it.
